    E18: Michael Berman

    On this week's episode, I sit down with Michael Berman aka Cowboy Mike. Michael is a digital artist based in Southern California. His specialty is currency design and he had some very interesting ideas about what it means to be an artist.

    E17: Omar Salas Zamora

    Happy Pride Month! For this week's episode I sat down with Omar Salas Zamora, an independent filmmaker and one of my oldest friends. Omar has written and directed dozens of shorts and several feature length films. We discussed his background and journey through the film industry, as well as his most recent project: the mini series, Here Comes Your Man.  The show follows two young men from the beginning to the end of their relationship and is loosely based on Omar's own experiences in the LGBTQ community.  Intro/Outro Music: "Beach Aster Dr." - Synecdoche Follow Omar: IG: @omarsalaszamora // @thearborcompanywww.thearborcompany.comFollow Shapes & Sounds: FB & IG: @shapesandsoundspodTwitter: @sands_cast www.shapesandsoundspodcast.comFollow Matt: IG: @justmattystuffTwitter: @justmattystufff

    E16: Highlight Reel Vol. 1

    This week, I rounded up some of my favorite moments on the show thus far. My original plan was to do this to mark the podcast's third month and it completely slipped my mind, so I'm doing it now. Everybody loves a clip show! ...right?

    E14: Jess Steinfelds (Part One) & Show Update

    This week's episode features Jess Steinfelds, a weaver and photographer based in Truckee, California. We had a wonderful conversation, but roughly half of it got cut off due a technical error during recording. This is extremely unfortunate, but it may be recoverable. Make sure to listen all the way through for more info on this, as well an important announcement.  Intro/Outro Music: "Beach Aster Dr." - Synecdoche Follow Jess: Clothing IG: @madewhereveriamPhotography IG: @itisstillabeautifulworldwww.madewhereveriam.comwww.jessgibbsphotography.comFollow Shapes & Sounds: FB & IG: @shapesandsoundspodTwitter: @sands_cast www.shapesandsoundspodcast.comFollow Matt: IG: @justmattystuffTwitter: @justmattystufff
